DPC GDPR Accuracy and Retention
Get Started with This SkillOverview
Accuracy and retention for DPC self-assessment: purpose limitation, minimisation, accuracy, retention policies, secure destruction, and no unregulated duplication.
Getting Started
Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the DPC GDPR Accuracy and Retention skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.
Example conversation
You: We need a retention schedule and procedures for keeping data accurate and destroying it securely when we don’t need it anymore. The DPC checklist is asking about purpose limitation, minimisation, and no unregulated duplication.
Agent: I’ll use the accuracy and retention reference. I’ll draft a retention schedule table: data category, purpose, retention period (or criteria), and any other legal obligation (e.g. tax). Then procedures: how we keep data accurate and correct without delay, how we destroy or anonymise when retention ends, and how we avoid unnecessary duplication. I’ll align each point to the DPC checklist so you can show purpose limitation and minimisation are in place.
